In {product-title}, you can install a cluster on Microsoft Azure by using infrastructure that you provide.
Several Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates are provided to assist in completing these steps or to help model your own.

The steps for performing a user-provisioned infrastructure installation are provided as an example only. Installing a cluster with infrastructure you provide requires knowledge of the cloud provider and the installation process of {product-title}. Several ARM templates are provided to assist in completing these steps or to help model your own. You are also free to create the required resources through other methods. |
-
You reviewed details about the {product-title} installation and update processes.
-
You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.
-
You configured an Azure account to host the cluster and determined the tested and validated region to deploy the cluster to.
-
You mirrored the images for a disconnected installation to your registry and obtained the
imageContentSourcesdata for your version of {product-title}.ImportantBecause the installation media is on the mirror host, you must use that computer to complete all installation steps.
-
If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to.
-
If the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not accessible in your environment, or if you do not want to store an administrator-level credential secret in the
kube-systemnamespace, you have manually created long-term credentials. -
If you use customer-managed encryption keys, you prepared your Azure environment for encryption.
Before you can install {product-title}, you must configure an Azure project to host it.
